Following a high-speed odyssey up the Tennessee River on Tuesday, Paul Nichols expects his back to ache and his joints to be stiff today from being jostled about as be piloted his bass boat to an American Power Boat Association speed record.

"My hands have blisters all over them. My back hurts, my legs hurt; I'm worn out," Nichols said after completing his record-setting run in 11 hours 14 minutes.

The Chattanooga resident said the excitement of driving his way into the boating organization's record book will dull the aches and pains.

Nichols is the first boater to ever travel - in less than 12 hours - from Paducah, Ky., where the Tennessee River ends to where it begins in Knoxville.
